This is a fantastic little unit BUT there are some phones that it is not immediately compatible with – for example the Sony Ericsson K700 and K750. These phones require the very last software version to be uploaded to the unit – a bluetooth enabled laptop or similar – is required.
If in doubt about compatibilty try searching in google for ‘parrot 3100 k750i’ or similar.
Other than that initial setup problem, it really has been superb.

Excellent product and very easy to install if using the ISO connectors. One thing the instructions don’t mention is if you don’t get a ‘goodbye’ message when you turn off the ignition you need to swap the power wires over. Easily done at the in-line fuse holders. Red to orange and orange to red.
This should solve the problem of lost settings and ensure the product works as intended.

I brought this through amazon nice fast delivery
Easy to fit (once I got the stereo out ) All the cables were supplied take out the two iso fittings from the stereo, fit the two supplied in there place, then fit the two from the stereo (the ones you pulled out)into the sockets on the new cables, these connect to the blue control box which you hide under the dash some where.
Fit the display on the dash with one of the supplied brackets (the mic can sit on the top of the display)run the cable from the display and the mic back to the blue control box job done.
Pair up the device and away you go the sound quality is great far better than other kits I’ve used.
Easy to set voice dial, see your phone book etc
In fact a great bit of kit

I used to have a Jabra head seat but found the battery life just usless so spent quite some time looking round for an alternative. I also tend to change my phone quite often so hard wiring wasn’t really an option.
I chose the over the Ericsson bluethooth set as my mate has the ericsson and i find the background noise terrible. Recieved my box and had it installed and wired into my existing car stereo in about 10 mins flat. What a dream. When i opened the box and saw all the wires i thought no but its very very easy…
The sound quality is fantastic and I have had no complaints from callers the other end. All in all a superb piece of kit and well worth a look though your might want to shop around for a cheaper price…

I purchased my parrot ck3100 from carhifionline, delivered fast and well packaged. Installation took about half an hour on my vw transporter van, it turned out to be a case of removing the radio, removing the existing plug connectors, pluging in the parrot connectors to the radio and then the existing connectors back into the parrot connectors, mounting the mic and control unit and that was it!…. i remember thinking ‘bloody hell it works!’….its not often things are that good, I’ve had a few cheep car kits before and they’ve been crap. So i’m pleased that i decided to spend a bit more for someting that works!……oh you’ll need to re-enter your radio keycode when you finish, so make sure that you’ve got it.
